Answer 1

A LOT !

Answer 2

I know how you feel, I am 19 and have thought that I really want a baby.  But when you think about it, at our age we're really not ready to be parents and be good parents at that.  You have to live your life a little bit first, because once a child comes there is no more partying, staying out late or any of that because the baby must come first.  You may not want to hear this, I know I didn't want to think about it, but there is something psychologically in your head that is telling you a baby will fill some void in your life, whether you realize the void is there or not.  I wish you luck :)

Answer 3

No it's not weird to want a baby, but I would wait until you have a stable job, and you are married.  You are only 18, a couple years from being 21.  Enjoy your life right now!  Then in the long run you won't have any regrets.  I was 25 when I had my first, and I got to live my life, and have fun.  Even though I am 28 now...I have a 1 and 2 1/2 year old, it's hard, even when I had just my oldest.  My friend was 18 when she had her first.  When we were all going out, she was at home with her daughter....she wanted to go out so bad, but didn't have a babysitter or no extra money to come out with us.  She is 28 now, and she said that she did have a lot of regrets, because she didn't get a chance to be a kid.  Good Luck, with your decision, and I hope you make the right one for yourself.

Answer 4

i think you and your boyfriend should both want one and then be in your own place and working cuz the last thing you want is living with your mom and a baby lol anyways its totally normal to see other teenages with babies and want your own im 19 and i lost my baby boy when i was 18 weeks pregnant and all i want now is to get pregnant so i understand but make sure u know what ur getting ur self in and your not doing it just for the trend of teenage moms

Answer 5

i'm 19 and i got pregnant when i was 18....  so think about everythign first... like i found out i was pregnant and yes i was happy... and still am but i have ALOT of limitations for example... one of the major functions in my area is tomorrow night... and i can't go because a) i don't have a babysitter. b) even if i did i couldn't get drunk because i can't be huingover the next day looking after a 3 month old think about how a baby will chaneg your life in EVERY ASPECT! like do you like  long showers? yeah that ends when you have a baby. do you like going out say foir dinner and such some of your favorite resteraunts may be to loud for the baby not to mention the 30-60mins it takes you to just get the baby ready to go  (packing diaper bag, feeding before you got putting the car seat in) and just go is no longer an option.... i have a beautifull baby girl she sleeps from 10pm-6am but not everyone is sooo luck a friend of mine has a baby boy who is 7 months and still gets up every 3-5hours BY THE WAY it is completely normal the best (physical time) for a women to have a baby is between 18-28 its natural

Answer 6

hahaha i sooo know what you mean ,

me too and im only 17!

but maybe when you move out with your bf and you guys get your own place...

or...

your parents wouldnt get so mad at you if you do get pregnant.

come on.. your 18.

but its competely normal..

just think about if you do have a baby..

just think how you would feel like.

waking up taking care of the baby.

all those things

not just the cute baby.

  

Answer 7

O your so brudy , How nice is that , you will have your wee baby when you no the exact time good luck,

Answer 8

Aw I know how you feel!

I have always wanted a baby and I'm only seventeen.

But now I'm having one and I can't wait to be the best mommy ever!!

I know most people think that teenagers can't be good parents but I think that if you really want the baby and you are stable enough everything will be fine =]

good luck convincing your boyfriend! =]
